One Born Every Minute 24/1

Here we are then

sorry have to say it GET UP AND MOVE

Looks like the theme this week is 'you can't control labour and birth'.

was prob a pressie

But he may redeem himself let's see

Nowt wrong with Swindon ladies

Another teapot fan here.

All the men are going to piss us off tonight, aren't they?

He's really trying to help her.

Ds born blue - dh said it was one of his worst moments when they whisked him away, not saying a word.

This guy seems nice. Like he's actually aware & supportive of the birth plan!

I hate Julia's husband, he seems like a cock.

I delivered one or two in cars as a MW lol.
Love the receptionist - she's supposed to be lovely but of course they just edit in her eating/drinking tea/doing make up lol

Dammit, I missed it again, why is she so worried about losing control, is there a specific reason?

I must pay more attention and not get distracted by making rude remarks about teapots

Maybe the teapot was a pressie from a grateful parent?

Ahhhh the birthpool dad is lovely, very reassuring to have a DH like that about at the crucial time, I would imagine!

Lol at loving the teapot! I feel for the men, they obviously don't have a clue what to do and are scared!

i think that teapot was for GOSH benefit possibly?

I think he's lovely. My dh sat in corner and read the paper for most of it. Although to be fair it must be quite boring. I was getting bored towards the end of my own labour (had been going on a few days without moving forward)

I am ALWAYS shouting "let the poor woman get up and move around".

Lol dirty - obviously I don't want one in my oh-so-modern kitchen but I sometimes like to indulge a thatched cottage fantasy with loads of friends who want tea rather than booze [bwink]

That Donna looks really familliar, I thought she was on the Christmas episodes....

I'm sure the MWs would prefer a teapot than chocolates or flowers.

No! Birth Pool Daddy seems to be a non-knob. V supportive.

'why is she so worried about losing control, is there a specific reason?'

Well, for me it's because it really fucking hurt and the body and brain just didn't want to go there.

For some it's fight or flight and the flight factor kicks in.

Fairly natural response not to want to 'lose control' when it hurts like that.

What a knowledgable fella! My oh would not know an episiotomy if it him in the face.. Oh.. Ew.

I think if you know you're going to panic, having a DH who knows the situation and can fight your corner is exactly what you need.
